by Kose
Updated October 14, 2026
SPF50+ PA++++ gel dries matte fast; thick application can pill under makeup.
What the community says
An SPF50+ PA++++ gel sunscreen with modern filters, silica, and ethanol that dries quickly to a matte finish. It suits oily skin and outdoor exercise, though the thick two-finger application can feel suffocating, smell unpleasant, or pill over heavy moisturizer.
